My NC-30 Has been Burning great in fact to great. I have a severe draft problem. I went through a couple other stoves thinking this was the probem. After getting my 30 I was getting max 3-4 hourd burns with good dry Black Walnut. No creosote problems but my Chimney is 38 to40' tall. Read all about the Bungalow syndrome. As it got colder here in Michigan the effect increased expotentially. I Checked with BB and other here and put in a Pipe-Damper and it improved greatly however I leave the plate vertical and onloy engage the draft control after I achieve secondary burn. Is this the best I can do. Or would a better choice be a sliding cover on the intake on the back. This article by john Gulland explaine my problem just looking for the best solution. Have thought about CATs as they are said to work better with higher draft leverl. Have also seen the damper /cat adapters thinking that might slow down draft while creating even cleaner burn. Any advice would be appreciated. Tried Sending ESW PM Full and Bounce bac from emails in signature.
So any opinions appreciated.
Merry Christmas.
